Still a lot. And a lot of free time needed to keep current and costs that can impose. But I’m not ruling it out I have a interest in flying at least I’ll try some experience flights. But I’m very busy with running my own company. Maybe in a few years or so I can look into it more seriously. Also I need to find my local school as well. But like most it boils down to time, money, and circumstances. And objective of getting the license eg use and goal.

I'm sure someone has mentioned this, or you perhaps know this already, but since the UK has left the EU, PPL Tutor is on the wrong exam board. The CAA exams are slightly different to the EASA exams!

Hi mate, thanks for the informative video. How long did it take you to pass your PPL, from start to finish? (sorry if you mentioned it and I missed it).

Hi Michael - you're welcome! It took me 3 months from start to finish. I blocked out 2 days each week to make this happen. Hope this helps.

Hi - Without going into too much personal detail How did you finance the cost for this was it savings etc ? what was you life like when you did it. I work full time and only 22 but im looking to do my ppl in the years to come. I know everyone's life is different but experience is always transferrable.

If i want to buy my own headset, which one do you recommend as the one the instructor gave me today to use, I did have some troubles hearing at times as it seemed a little low. I see some have volumes on. Whats a good headset that doesnt cost the earth?

Hi Chris - good question. It will cost a little more now with inflation/higher fuel prices. I'd say somewhere between £12-15k. Happy to introduce you to a flying school? If so, just reach out to me.
